Sister, if only we believed what we profess others too. If we believed each and every black life mattered, that none was disposable. There be no nooses left and no more missing children, fathers, mothers or black folk just trying to live. We have work to do, together.

Love reading this, so thoughtful and full of originality. But I hope you won’t tune out if Bernie doesn’t win… There’s a lot of Democrats, like me, that really like the new and historic presidential style of Obama and all of the productive conversations many around the country are now having that haven’t been addressed before. It would be a real shame to get slapped with another (insert in the blank Republican) in office because just enough Democrats were discouraged by the political system and didn’t vote. There’s a lot to be angry about, but a lot to be optimistic about. Hopefully optimistic enough to progress forward in Obama era.

Thanks Dub! Didn’t know you read my blog. Hillary or whoever must own my vote. I will be voting, even if for a third party candidate. But I won’t sit out. The candidates must promote a clear, explicit platform for ending the crisis of white anxiety exacted on black lives for centuries, across the nation. I miss you. Maybe I’ll visit you for my birthday in December?!
